He Says Emphatically He Is Not Candi-
date, and Wants to See Camden Elected.
SDecidl Telegram 10 the ReoiSteT.
WASHINGTON, d. c., January H.-Ex-
Senator Henry G. Davis, ofWest Virginia,
was among the visitors at the Capitol to-
day. The REGISTER correspondent met
him as he was coming out of the building
on his way to the depot and ask him If he
was a candidate for Mr.. Camden's seat in
the Senate, as has been intimated in some
West Virginia papers.
"No, sir, am not" was his response.
"Under no circumstances would do any
thing to embarrass Mr.. Camden's chances
of success. l want TO see him elected to
succeed himself. / am sure he deserves a
reelection. As long as he is a candidate
for reelection | will not allow my name to
be used. If by electing NE were the only
means by which Mr.. Camden could be de-
feated. | should certainly decline the
honor"
SHOULD Mr.. Camden retire from the
contest, senator. WOulu you lntn De u
cslndidate?" asked the REGISTER repre-
sentative.
81 am not candidate, but under those
circumstances / do not say that | would
decline the honor. But as long as MIR.
Camden is a candidate l am entirely out
of the race Nothing could induce me'tO
do anything that wOnld embarrass Mr..
Camden. The use of my name thus far
has been without mt consent"
Representative Wilson says that he Is
not an aspirant for the SenatOrship, and
did not know that he had been compli-
mentpd with one vote until the REGISTER
representative told him of the TACT. He
had been SO busy with the Appropriation
bills, and the session was so near an end
that he had not been able to read the pa
pers. He presumed that Mr.. Camden
would eventually be elected, at least he
thought he deserved q reelection.
~ have had 10 communication with
anyone at Charleston or elsewhere, con-
cerning the SenatOrship,' said Mr.. Will
son, nor have ever written or spoken to
anyone concerning the possibility OF my
being elected. In fact, | have not even
thought of myself in connection with the
SenatOrShip.'

ATARIFF CONFERENCE.
The Randall Committee Hold an Inter
view with Speaker Carlisle.


WASHINGTON, January 27.-Messrs.
Randall, Gay, Cahell, Warner, of Ohio,
Henderson, of North Carolina, McAdOo,
and Tillman, the committee appointed at
last nights conference of the Randall
Democrats on the tariff question had an
interview with Speaker Carlisle to-day.
They desired in the first place TO reach an
understanding as TO plan of parliamentary
procedure in order 10 reach the Tariff bill,
and second, to ascertain whether Mr.. Car
Isle and his friend would cooperate with
them so rs TO make the move for tariff re-
vision with a solid party front.
The conference was Of diplomatic ma
ture, and Mr. Carlisle, while reserved as to
what his cOuse would be, was friendly and
fair minded. No definite understanding
was reached, but the Carlisle Morrison
men will determine their policy by to-
morrow, and the committee from the Ran
dali conference will report to the whole
body of Randall men on Thursday.
The main features of the amended Ran
dali bill have already been published.
The old bill increases the duty on a few
articles. In the new bill this increase is
stricken out. The bill puts about 81, OOO,-
600 on the free list and reduces the tariff
on other articles by seven to eight millions.
The tobacco tax and rebate. the tax for
retailers licenses, and that on fruit distil-
lationS, and on whisky used in arts and
manufactures, are the feature, OF the in
ternal revenue system that are abolished.
If the latter item is not generally favored
the alternative proposition will be made
to reduce the tax on whisky TO 60 cents.
The reduction of the internal revenue
from this change in the whisky tax would
he over twenty millions, and the total re-
duction proposed by the bill between fifty
and sixty millions.
The Hewitt administrative clause and
the other changes suggested by the Treas
ury Department are Incorporated in the
bill. The Treasury officials say that the
reform they propose will increase the
revenues four to five millions by facili-
tating collections

4 DECISION
That May Result In Refunding Taxes to
Certain Southern states.

That May Result In Refunding Taxes to
Certain Southern States.
WASHINGTON, Jenuary 27.-The Court
of Claims, on the presentation of VIM. E.
Earle, of this city, representing the State
of Louisiana under authority of the Cover
nor, has decided question which will
take a good many thousand dollars out of
the Treasury, and may possibly lead to the
refunding of the direct taxes to those
Southern States who, by stress OF arms,
were compelled to pay that impost during
the war, and who were the only members
of the rebelliouS sisterhOod who did pay
that tax.
In the case in point, suit was brought
by the State of Louisiana to recover its
share of the proceeds OF the swamp and
abandoned lands, and the quota of 5 per
cent on the proceeds of the sale of other
lands by the general Government. The
defence of the United States was: (l) That
a State had no right to sue the United
States. e. That the Indebtedness of the
United States to Louisiana for the objects
named was offset, and has been so entered
on the books of the Treasury, by the in
debtedness of Louisiana to the United
States for direct taxes levied during the
War of the Rebellion, and remaining un-
paid. On this latter point counsel for
Louisiana replied that the direct tax was
tax OH individual land owners, and could
not be offset against claim made by the
State. The Court in very far-relching
opinion, sustains the position of the State
on both points, and gave judgment in its
favor for the full amount claimed.
Similar suits are pending from the
States of Alabama and Mississippi. This
decision may possibly account for the
meeting of the Senate Finance Committee
to consider the question of refunding the
direct taxes TO those States that have paid
them. The whole subject is surrounded
by embarrassments. On the one hand the
books of the Treasury still carry the di-
rect tax uncOllected as an available asset,
whereas the impOssibility of collecting it
at this late day is obvious. On the other
hand it seems equally difficult TO devise
any way of getting the taxes already paid
back into the hands OF those who Origi
nally paid them or their legal representa-
tives. In strict equity there are but two
courses open, either to collect the tax in
full from all those who were liable to pay
it, or to refund the tax paid to those who
complied with the law and paid it, and
each course seems about equally difficult.

"a DEATH TRAP"
Unsafe Condition Of the First
Ward school,"

.'AIarmlngly Unsafe Condition Of the First
Ward school,"
To ute Editor Of Tie ReDiSer:
SIR: Under the above head the Neacs-
Letter of the 25th gets off sensational
article of three-q quarters Of column,
which partially accomplishes the evident
intention of the author, in alarming the
patrons of the school and Withdrawing q
number OF the scholars. He says: The
parents of the pupils attending the school
are greatly alarmed over the extremely
unsafe condition of the building, which is
40 arranged as to make the escape Of
$40 children extremely difficult in case
Of fire" Now, Mr.. Editor, We fail to find
but single resident Of Washington dis
trict who was in the least alarmed on nc.
count of our school building, until this
uncalled for article was published, and
that one was the well known Councilman"
who accompanied the reporter OF the Ne,rs-
Letter. We will not occupy yOur valuable
space, or take the time Of your readers, in
attempting to answer the foolish assertions
made in this innammatory article, but
the opinion of the writer the First
ward school building is entirely safe,
and is as well arranged for escape in
case of fire as any public bailding in the
city, the practical well known Council
man and the Ne,cs-Lefter reporter to the
contrary notwithstanding. We are assured
by Miss Harper, the Principal, that under
the fire drill inaugurated several years ago
in our school that the building can be va
Gated in three minutes, instead of fifteen,
as wrongly stated by our friend.
Had not the article referred to been pub
hshed our school would no doubt have
gone on and prospered in the future ~ in
the past, but with the black-eye given it
by our practical Councilman and the en-
terprising reporter OF the Nacs-LdtT, it
will be necessary for our Board Of Educa-
ton to take immediate steps to correct this
blunder and to reaSsure the residents Of the
First ward that the building il safe.

TORONTO, ONT. January 27.-The Nail
to-day says: 1T is unfortunate for Cana
dian interests that general election
should be in progress at the time
when our American neighbors are legis'
lating against us. II is true the bellicose
speeches delivered in the United States
Senate the other day need not
be be taken seriously. Neverthe-
less, it is abundantly evident from the
better class of American journals that our
neighbors are determined TO adopt 'speci-
fed foreign policy in plain English, to steal
our fish and to punish us if We attempt to
prevent them. We suffer from American
prejudice against England and from Eng
lands unwillingness and inability TO make
our case her own, and between the two il
will be q miracle if we are not shorn.
